    About this audiobook

    Even more of a good thing: the latest collection of knee-slappers, toe-tappers, and groaners from A Prairie Home Companion Joke Shows.

    "What does IDK stand for?" "I don't know." "OMG, nobody does!" . . . What is a hippie's wife called? Mississippi . . . What is the recipe for Honeymoon Salad? Lettuce alone without dressing."

    Jokes are made for sharing, and everyone loves to laugh. This nonstop collection gathers the best jokes from the most recent Joke Show (11/4/2014) plus special joke segments from 2011 to the present, all recorded before live before doubled-over audiences in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and New York . . . Performers include show regulars-Garrison Keillor, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Tom Keith, and Richard Dworsky-along with special guests. There's music from the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, a bucketful of Halloween jokes, a musical tribute to bad jokes, a celebration of Jewish Jokes from New York radio legend Larry Josephson, Ole and Lena jokes, a Guy Noir sketch, Dusty and Lefty, and of course, even more jokes.

    Author

    Garrison Keillor

    Garrison Keillor, born in Anoka, Minnesota, in 1942, is an essayist, columnist, blogger, and writer of sonnets, songs, and limericks, whose novel Pontoon the New York Times said was “a tough-minded book . . . full of wistfulness and futility yet somehow spangled with hope”—no easy matter, especially the spangling. Garrison Keillor wrote and hosted the radio show A Prairie Home Companion for more than forty years, all thanks to kind aunts and good teachers and a very high threshold of boredom. In his retirement, he’s written a memoir and a novel. He and his wife, Jenny Lind Nilsson, live in Minneapolis and New York.

      Funny stuff, cheesy stuff, borderline racist stuff. This isn't all good clean fun, but it is quite humorous and will tickle your funny bone (or your humerus). I listened to some with my son until a slightly off-color joke came out of the speaker. I enjoyed the rest on my own. Unlike Lake Wobegon, these aren't that re-listenable. Very fun for a one-time through. I might listen to it again in a few years. I don't want to be the PC police; 30 years ago, these jokes would be good clean family fun compared to almost every stand-up comic out there.

      Some of the material on this CD is very good, but some other pieces weren't nearly as funny. It's a collection across time, and the uneven quality makes the whole thing poorer: it would have been better edited down to a single CD.
    • 2/5
      If you like Prairie Home Companion, then you will probably enjoy this. The jokes are definitely of the 1950's wholesome variety. I was excited to get this through Early Reviewers and I'm sad to say that I honestly couldn't finish the first CD because the jokes were so cringe-worthy-awful. I enjoyed Prairie Home Companion as a child on road trips but it just doesn't speak to my 30 something soul. Many of the early jokes are about relationships, so it wouldn't even be funny for a young family vacation.

      Many of us are girding up for the Holiday Season. We intend go into charm's way, and jokes may help. This is serious, of course, so I got this "live" disc set from professionals and I can practice at home.This two-disc set is rich with wit and one-liners, delivered by the stars -- including Keillor, Scott, Russell, Keith, Dworsky, the musical shoe band and choral teams -- of The Prairie Home. And backed up with live-audience laughs. The "bits", sketches, and comic songs are lively and colorful, and mostly "clean". I confess I even used the tracks as an exercise background! The cover case provides a Table of Contents listing 38 categories of Jokes. The categories include "Differences between Women and Men", "Atheists and Unitarians", "Innocent Jokes", "Off-Key Jokes", "Ole, Lena and Sven", "Bars, Work and Church", and "Marriage: A Matter of Wife and Debt".This is legatic. Drawing from one of the most long-lived, gentle, and wonderful radio programs available for listening audiences, the material is vaguely familiar -- "Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah.Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the Head of the Church.And Baptists don’t recognize each other at the Liquor Store."Of course, you may need some Ketchup as a mellowing agent. (!)

      For those of you who are familiar with the Prairie Home Companion radio format, this crazy compendium feels just like putting on an old bathrobe and warm wool socks. Two CD's packed with puns and groaners and Ole & Lena jokes, punctuated by homey little ditties from the Guy's All Star Shoe Band.For those of you who have never experienced Prairie Home, it's the sort of humor bandied about by the 7 a.m. coffee-swigging, Key-overall wearing, retired farmers that take up the corner table at the D&D Diner. And that's not a bad thing at all. Not quite for little kids--those geezers get a little bawdy--but for those who love cleverly crafted wordplay and puns.

      What's not to love about Prairie Home Companion's joke shows? This is a two disc compilation of some of the best of the joke shows on PHC, and it has the reliable knock-knock jokes, lightbulb jokes, Ole and Lena jokes and some very funny songs written for the show. It's a terrific set to take along on a car trip. Lots of fun!
    • 4/5
      This is a two-cd collection of jokes with some humorous songs added intermittently. Most of the jokes are at least worth a smile and some are laugh-out loud quality. It’s more fun to listen to with someone else, but of course the laughing-out-loud-while-alone-in-the-car factor is worthwhile also. All the usual categories of jokes are represented, such as the “guy walks into a bar” type, hillbillies, geographic slurs, nudist colony jokes, men versus women, clergy, ethnic, and so on.Performers of the jokes include show regulars Garrison Keillor, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Tom Keith and Richard Dworsky.I was pleasantly surprised to find that in spite of the ubiquity of jokes over the internet, many of these were new to me.Definitely recommended for the car, for making your commutes more fun!
